Hover Your Mouse Over The Green Bits!!

This post is really just an acknowledgment of all the heroes who served in WWI and WWII be it British or otherwise. There are 2 photographs here separated by 66 years. The main photograph was take a few days ago at the German War Cemetery on Cannock Chase Staffordshire.

The German Cemetery near Broadhurst green, on Cannock Chase is a memorial to some 5,000 German war dead, where the servicemen's graves are marked by headstones of Belgian granite, set in plots of heather and tended by gardeners.

The photograph was taken in infrared to get the surreal effect. The second photo is one of my uncle taken in 1942 in Malta. I wanted to give the appearance that he was stepping into the photograph. In fact he was sitting down for an army portrait. By the way he is still alive.

Hi Peter, interesting post. I do not thin that many of us can even begin to imagine the scale of the horror of those wars, but when you see the graves and the war memorials with hundreds of names it is a vivid reminder.My father-in-law is a WW2 veteran, who survived an aircrash in the Mediteranean Sae. He just turned 90.
